ABOUT THE WINE

DUCK PRESS RED IS RICH, BOLD wine with a full bodied mouth feel, a bouquet of dark fruit aromas, with layers of jammy fruit, blackberry, and intense mocha flavors. On the finish, it is long and toasty with oak components punctuated by brown sugar, vanilla bean dust adding to the soft tannins.

The fruit was sourced from 4 different blocks within Destiny Ridge Vineyard and is a nice blend of 56% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvingnon, 14% Petit Verdot, and 10% Malbec. While this wine is showing nicely now, it is still young and I recommend decanting or letting breath for 15-30 minutes, under good cellar conditions, will probably gain complexity, and soften a bit for another five to eight years.
